Default 3 Point SFC's???
Has anyone found 3 point SFC's that will fit a vert? I contacted UMI and BMR. Both reps told me that they plan to produce them in the near future. But, they would not give me a date (that was in January). I relly doubt hey will produce them this year. If we could find a set, I am sure someone could photograph them them and post measurements (if that is not breaking any patent rules). That way, we could have 3 point SFC's made locally. Does anyone have a set that they could photograph and post measurements?

Has anyone installed 3-point subframe connectors on a convertible F-body?

I found an unused set of SLP subframe connectors. They're 3 point. Got em for only $135 too. There's gotta be more sets of them around somewhere.

The SLP's aren't the "double diamond" type, but they do have 3 mounting points.

Do you have a link for the convertible SLP SFC's?
I looked on LM performance. But, all of the descriptions said "except convertibles".

no. All I know is that SLP used to sell them but don't anymore. They still sell them for non-verts. Maybe contact them, might be some laying around. I got mine from a guy who got them with his car and didn't want to put them on. Must have been good timing.

I contacted SLP and they don't have any. I'm in the same boat, looking for some good sub-frame connectors, might have to get someone local to make a custom set.

If you can find a shop in Central FL that will make custom 3-point SFC's for verts, please let me know. A shop might be more motivated if we have several sets made at once. Count me in for two sets as long as the price is not crazy! I was not able to motivate BMR, UMI, or any of the local South FL shops.

Probably would be easier and cheaper to buy a set of 2 point bars and have them modified to 3 point.

Please send me the UMI rep's email address.

On another note, have asked a couple of shops here in Orlando, no interest yet. As previously mentioned, might be best just to get a set and have them customized...

I can't believe these are made for a coup, but not a topless vert

I am sending requests for 3-point SFC's (FOR CONVERTIBLES) to UMI and BMR again today via email. If anyone else is interested, please send requests as well.
